Lending

Loan Management Software & Digital Lending Platform

End-to-end digital lending — origination, underwriting with maker-checker, disbursement, repayment schedules, and collections — posting to a double-entry ledger with strict segregation of duties.

The problem

  • Spreadsheet-driven lending can’t enforce approval controls or produce a clean audit trail.
  • Disbursements and repayments that don’t post atomically to the ledger cause balance drift.
  • Collections and arrears tracking are manual and reactive without built-in schedules and reminders.

How it works

Four steps, all on a single audited core banking ledger.

  1. 1

    Apply

    The borrower applies digitally; KYC and documents are reused from onboarding.

  2. 2

    Underwrite

    A loan officer assesses and recommends; a separate approver signs off (maker-checker).

  3. 3

    Disburse

    Funds disburse to the account or mobile money, posting atomically to the ledger.

  4. 4

    Repay

    Repayments follow the schedule (including mobile money); arrears trigger reminders and workflows.

Loan Management: FAQ

What is loan management software?

Loan management software handles the full lending lifecycle — origination, underwriting, disbursement, repayment schedules, and collections. Sika does this on a double-entry ledger with maker-checker controls so every disbursement and repayment is atomic and auditable.

Can borrowers repay by mobile money?

Yes. Repayments can be collected via mobile money and post atomically to the loan account, keeping balances and schedules accurate.

Does Sika enforce approval controls on loans?

Yes — underwriting uses maker-checker, so the officer who recommends a loan cannot be the one who approves it. Every decision is logged.

What is Credit Intelligence?

Credit Intelligence is a paid add-on that scores loan and card requests with approve, refer, or decline outcomes, policy versioning, revolving facilities, and audited underwriter override. Core lending stays in every plan; CI is the premium decision layer. It ships on Enterprise.
